“I read Simon Singh's other book 'The Code Book' and loved it.. so I picked this one up and he delivered as expected. I dont know how he could make a history of mathematics and mathematicians so interesting and intriguing! Its like reading a wonderful mystery novel..only this is non-fiction and that makes it even more grander. ”

“It is a history about mathematician called Fermat. When I bought this book I thought it will be a boring history, but It is incredible. ”

“I really love Fermat and his last theorem.

I read quite much books about him and the theorem :)
It's not simple and I don't understand everypart of the theorem but it's really attractive to me.
I also interested in prime number theorem !”
“I'm terrible at maths and still found this fascinating; a real pageturner.”

“Fantastic! Number theory, advanced math made exciting! The book that has totally changed my reading habits. Switched to nonfiction after this book. And I think I have read everything Simon Singh wrote. I will add comments about other books later. I should actually read it again. ”

“A very interesting book about the solution in our days of the old Fermat's Last Theorem, that challenged the greatest mathematicians in the last three centuries

(Fermat , who seemed to enjoy not writing solutions of his Theorems, most of them were solving one after one by his contemporaries, left this one for the posterity). We can say that thanks to Fermat, the process in solving his theorem since the XVII century has contribuited to the development of the Mathematics”“Excelent book about the history of one of the most fantastic problems in mathematics and the ones who tryed to solve it.”
